This morning I drove my wife to BWI for her move to Seattle. While there, she’ll stay with my sister, play with our niece, and look for work. Once she gets a job, I get to pack up and drive a U-Haul cross-country. Tonight, I get to watch whatever TV I want, play whatever video games I want, spend as much time surfing the net as I want, and when I go to bed, I get as much sprawling room as I want.🙂 Tomorrow, I’ll get to watch whatever TV I want, but she won’t be there. I’ll play whatever video games I want, but she won’t be there. I’ll spend as much time surfing the net as I want, but she won’t be there. When I go to bed, well…☹ She lands in a half hour, and I hope she finds something good soon. I want to play with my niece, too. And I _know_ I’ll want someone to steal the covers again. Go Steph! ---

Aguecheek, I know exactly how you feel. I am in Atlanta GA right now and my boyfriend (that I have lived with for the past year and dated for the past 2) is in South Carolina with a new job. He has only been gone a week, and I am absolutely miserable. At least I get to see him on the weekends though, but i still hate it. My lease here doesn’t run out until the end of June and I havent found a job in SC yet, so I cant very well move yet. When I went to visit him this past weekend, I took him the PS2, so now I don’t even have that to play with. I hope she finds something soon so that you two can be together. Best of luck to you guys!! ---

How sweet! I hope she finds something soon. But DO enjoy the sprawling space while it lasts…there are just some things in life worth savoring 😃 ---

My ex-wife once had to be away for 6 months to do scientific research in Jamaica (she tells me she didn’t enjoy it). I too ejoyed the sudden freedom. However, I also found out that when she returned that I didn’t really miss her as much as I liked the freedom thus… I’m not bitchin’, I’m just saying. ---

Good luck to Steph in finding a job soon. It is nice to feel single again for a little while, but I know you’re going to start missing her pretty soon! ---

Par-_tay_! You supply the beer and the food, and we’ll supply, um, _us!_ Tell me, does your wide object to toasted meerkats, stolen vans, fireworks, and moose schlongs? She does? Well, don’t tell her then! _PARTY AT AGUECHEEK’S HOUSE!_
